The toggle clamp is case-hardened sheet metal, zinc plated, with a blue passivated finish. The bearing pins are tempered, the hand grip is a high quality, oil resistant red plastic, and the neoprene spindle assembly has a steel, zinc plated threaded stud in a blue passivated finish.

These RoHS compliant vertical acting toggle clamps work according to the toggle principle, as the lever and clamping bar move in the same direction. In the clamped position, the operating lever is in its vertical position. The vertical acting toggle clamps in the U-bar version with two flanged washers can accommodate an application specific clamping screw. A version including the spindle assembly with neoprene rubber tip is available as a standard. A modified version of the toggle clamp can be utilized by welding the clasp, which can then accommodate an application specific hold-down fastener component. The “Universal Fit” base allows for both inch and metric hole pattern mounting.
